　　Danny, dying of Aids, returns home for his last months. Always close to his mother, they share moments of openness that tend to shut out Danny's father and his sister.

　　Lyrics of Danny boy

　　Oh Danny boy, the pipes,

　　the pipes are calling

　　From glen to glen,

　　and down the mountain side

　　The summer's gone,

　　and all the flowers are falling

　　'Tis you, 'tis you

　　must go and I must bide

　　But come ye back

　　when summer's in the meadow

　　Or when the valley's hushed

　　and white with snow

　　'Tis I'll be there

　　in sunshine or in shadow

　　Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy,

　　I love you so

　　And when you come,

　　and all the flowers are dying

　　If I am dead,

　　as dead I may well be

　　Ye'll come and find

　　a place where I am lying

　　And kneel and say

　　an "Ave" there for me

　　And I shall hear,

　　though soft your tread above me

　　And all my grave

　　shall warmer sweeter be

　　For you will bend

　　and tell me that you love me

　　And I shall rest

　　in peace until you come to me

　　But if I live

　　and should you die for Ireland

　　Let not your dying thoughts

　　be just of me

　　But say a prayer to God

　　for our dearest Island

　　I know He'll hear

　　and help to set her free

　　And I will take your pike

　　and place my dearest

　　And strike a blow,

　　though weak the blow may be

　　Twill help the cause

　　to which your heart was nearest

　　Oh Danny Boy, Oh, Danny boy

　　I love you so.
